Luca Boccassi ab89060fbc pidfs: return -EREMOTE when PIDFD_GET_INFO is called on another ns
Currently it is not possible to distinguish between the case where a
process has already exited and the case where a process is in a
different namespace, as both return -ESRCH.
glibc's pidfd_getpid() procfs-based implementation returns -EREMOTE
in the latter, so that distinguishing the two is possible, as the
fdinfo in procfs will list '0' as the PID in that case:

https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/pidfd_getpid.c;h=860829cf07da2267484299ccb02861822c0d07b4;hb=HEAD#l121

Change the error code so that the kernel also returns -EREMOTE in
that case.

Fixes: 7477d7dce4 ("pidfs: allow to retrieve exit information")
